CONFIGURING THE COMPOSITE & S-VIDEO TO HDMI SCALER

Entering the Menu System

Pressing the Menu button on the front panel will display the GUI (graphical user interface) for adjustment options.

The GUI is overlaid onto the outgoing video to the display. Therefore, the source must be outputting a compatible resolution for viewing on the display. If video is not visible on the display, the GUI will also fail to be displayed. To correct this, please reset the unit by following the steps below follow the steps below.

Reset

1.Verify that the source is on and outputting a video signal.

2.Verify that the display is connected and powered on.

3.Press and hold the menu button, located on the front panel.

4.While holding the menu button, remove the power supply connector from the unit and wait 5 seconds.

5.While continuing to hold the menu button, re-insert the power supply into the unit and then release the menu button.

This will reset the unit and allow it to detect the display’s native resolution based on its EDID. If an image is still not being displayed, it is possible that either the display’s EDID is corrupt or the Composite & S-video to HDMI Scaler cannot output the display’s native resolution. Please call Gefen’s technical support line.
